I understand the song except for every mention of Опера. What does it mean? Google translate says it means Opera, and indeed it sound like the word too, but what is the context? It doesn't make sense to me.

Опер (slang) - is a short form of оперуполномоченный, which means detective / tec / sleuth.
Plural form of опер is оперá (stressed а).
So the phrase
Прорвёмся, оперá
means something like
Everything will be OK, detectives

1You translated "Прорвемся" wrong - it is not just "Everything will be OK", it is "We will survive and win". This is a word from war movies. Commented May 5, 2016 at 8:59
